This is not all that much a "development" thread as a collective piece. I would like to see from you all if the drivers posted on the front page actually have any affect on our device....or maybe I am just crazy.

I am personally seeing an increase 2D up from ~300ish to well over 600 to 700, while a slight decrease in 3D.

Hmmm. I installed the evo3d ones over 0509 nightly cm9. No ill effect. Seems faster but I believe that perception to be a placebo effect so far. Thanks OP

Just installed these over webcm9 cornerstone aokp and i've noticed a definite improvement at least in games. Not placebo at least in my eyes. But then again that's the best placebo. All i know is that all my games are running better. Thanks for the tip. Do they exynos drivers as well?
It actually brought my Quadrant speed down significantly..... From 3266 to 2571.
In what setup were you getting 3266?

Eyeballer's Nightly 05-07, 160dpi, 384mhz to 1782mhz. Pretty standard... Didn't mess with the 2d setting in settings.
FWIW, I'm getting over 3100.

Performance increase in both Quadrant and games. Subjectively I would say more than 20% in Reckless Racing 1 & 2 and in Real Racing!

Wow, I notice a huge difference in certain applications. Most notably scrolling through apps in the play store. It used to be ultra choppy, now it is bearable.
Here is a zip that'll flash on the Touchpad:
http://www.mediafire.com/?cnbbz06kl2mv6ix
As always, before flashing make sure to backup or be ready to reflash your rom.
I am running AOKP MS5, if that makes any difference.
Edit: Just noticed he had a zip for other devices attached to the post.
Moved to general, please continue.
Using the driver from the OP, I have the following observations;
2d is MUCH smoother, not my imagination, especially when panning between home screens.
Before, a few times a day it would be unresponsive to touch when coming out of sleep, more likely if it had just recently gone to sleep. Usually this was resolved by hitting the power button twice, only rarely requiring a hard reboot. After installing the 213 drivers 2 days ago, this has yet to happen. If it matters, I use pattern lock.
Haven't found any new bugs yet. Tonight I'll try the new 218 drivers and run a new benchmark.
Sent from my cm_tenderloin using Tapatalk 2
with this driver i got a lower benchmark point rate.
Lower gfx score here too. Can't comment on apps yet.

Now I know benchmarks are not that accurate but I figured I would ask about this anyway and see what everyone else thinks...
First, whenever I run linpack I only score anywhere between 12 and 16 overclocked @ 1.8...even my og Evo got about 40 so just wanted some input on that...
And second, when I run quadrant the first 12 tests go real slow but them I seem to still score from 2500-3000 but when I looked at the system info it said my phone was only a single core...kinda thought it was strange...here's the screen shot so you can see what I'm talking about

I am guessing that you have the CPU overclocked too much and it is choking on the benchmarks. Try lowering your clock to 1500 and see if you get the same results.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
htc phones have always fallen short on benchmarks dont worry it doesnt rlly say anything about real life performance. yeh it says one core you have 2 is it using both for the test? the world may never know
Yea looks like it isn't picking up second core for testing, hut the second core shouldn't be on all the time anyways, look for a dual core supported benchmark,
I believe cf bench is good for dual core,
And yea linpack borks when oc to far,
~Shot from my shooter in 3D~

not to hijack the thread, but i didn't want to start a new post, and can't post in the developers section yet.
I just flashed myns warmtwopointthree and when running nenamark 2 i get about 20fps, I got about 26 on stock before root. I haven't messed with the cpu yet as i just flashed it, but i was wondering if anyone knows whats up with it.
I just don't want to sift through 2,500+ replies to find out. i read in the latest release notes that the gpu was overclocked but i'm getting worse performance. I wanted higher performance so i chose that rom. Anyone know why?
Unfortunately most apps are not multithreaded which means they're only going to use one core anyway. So if you want to see how your average app will perform, Quadrant is actually pretty good because it is written like most apps: for a single core.
If you want a benchmark more indicative of what the hardware is actually capable of, a multi-core test like CF Bench or SmartBench 2011 is in order. Unfortunately, I've found that the governors on most ROM's are not up to the task and they actually slow things down quite a bit so if you want max performance (numbers in the tests), you need to use SetCPU or a similar tool and choose the "performance" governor otherwise the phone will be jumping around at various clock speeds for all the tests. I've tried the "lag free", "smartass" and all the governors and none of them (on any ROM I've tested) truly know how to keep the CPU at your max frequency even when doing the demanding tasks that the benchmarks throw at it.

What's everyone getting on which ROM, kernel and CPU oc/uv program?
(not sure if this belongs in Q/A or not )
I just got 3799 using the set up below and CPU tuner + virtuos overclock , I got 5000 odd yesterday ?
I still ain't getting any more than 3900 , even uninstalling virtuos overclock controller for sleep n wake, and setting my pc to full power , with my brightness down and all tasks killed in taskmanager.
Try backing down the frequency you set your processor to. I get crappy scores at 1.86 but over 6000 at 1.78. Every chip is different.
What is your setup?ROM,Kernel and mods?Im running Eternity 1.4 w/ziggy's latest kernel and no other mods. Ive gotten [email protected] (reboots at 1.8ghz) and just tested now, [email protected] Try playing around with the governor, Im using setcpu with lagfree.

what launcher are you using ??? do you have many widgets ? many apps installed ? have your wifi enabled ? does this matter do you think ?
I'm one who wants to always get the most out of his phone, but you guys do realize that with numbers like these, it is almost impossible to find any app that is going to have lag, so why even bother to go faster? At these speeds, you're now limited by things like your (data) connection speed and SD card read/write speed. So if we make these things faster, we're never going to see a difference anyway.
Just a does of reality. I don't think many of us use our phones to do number crunching, calculating pi to a billion digits, or use them to process SETI data to search for alien transmissions. Playing Angry Birds at 1.8 Ghz with both dual cores forced online isn't going to look any different than it does stock... except maybe your left hand gets warmer while holding the phone.

I don't think anyone will run their cpu at max all the time. Not with stock battery anyway. My daily setup is 1.02GHz single core UV @ 950mV. I play games like 9mm, ShadowGun etc and never had any problem with that speed.
So I hate benchmarks but I got bored so I ran a quadrant on my tab...I got 4221...is that a mistake?
wow. seems great to me. I was getting about 2500. I switch my governor to performance and it jumped up to over 3500 though. I've got ally of apps though so I figure not bad for me either. What's you governor set at getting over 4000?

ok...not to be mean...don't tell me what is helpful or not...
btw: i dont CARE about benchmark scores...AT ALL!!!!!
i just wondered why it was so high since engadget and other review sites say its like 1000.
@benzoman - just stock settings on cm9 preview (rootzwiki)
Running Task 14 overclocked to 1400 here. Couldn't get me to change ROMs for almost anything. Unless it was to an updated Task ROM. I'm running some of pershoots kernel stuff too.
Don't really care about benchmarks myself either. Just thought I'd run the quadrant to see what I got compared to what you got.
As long as it's stable and doesn't lag that's all I care.
Task has always taken VERY good care of me in all aspects of what I want, and need. So that's why I'm so partial to his stuff and suggestions of what to run with his ROMs.
Thanks mate for something to do at least for a few minutes.
EDIT: Just noticed both suggested ROMs are old Task ROMs too. LMAO
Yeah I'm running to change to an older ROM so my scores go up. NOT. :what:

This Adreno GPU update is ONLY designed to work on Qualcomm S3 ARM7 Devices running ICS.
Greetings, I have been on XDA for a long time and I hope that you all can benefit from this patch as we have over at the Amaze Forums. Here is a link to my Original Thread and evidence of this patch's success for our Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU devices running ICS.
We have proven that this driver Patch has doubled our GPU throughput for 2D and 3D rendering.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1631223
I have only tested this on my T-Mobile HTC Amaze (Qualcomm S3 Adreno 220 GPU) and have not experienced any issues.
I have created this Recovery Flashable Patch to Install the Qualcomm Updated Adreno Drivers on the "Official Ruby ICS" release.
Qualcomm Developers Website
I did not get a screenshot of the results before flashing this, however I have seen dramatically improved result on my Quadrant 3D scores with "Force 2D GPU rendering" UNCHECKED in the Setting->Develop Options Menu of this ICS Release. With this option checked I have seen improvements on both 2D and 3D. Although results are slightly degraded for 3D from post update the 2D results have doubled in value.
Quadrant results were obtained immediately after restart to avoid any other processes interfering with the results.
AFTER "Adreno ICS Update" Screenshot 2D Rendering NOT checked.

Before flashing 2000 in quadrant standard. Tested both 2d off and on.
All flashed, permissions, double reboot and now about 2800 in quadrant, yet the 2d and 3d scores are same, yet CPU and io increased.
No overclock or governor changes.
